Thank you Ursula I don't seem to have the permissions to read those bugzilla entries, or maybe I'm looking in the wrong Novell Bugzilla.
Upgrading from sp3 to sp4 solved the problem for SLES10. I upgraded my SLES11sp1 with all the upgrades SuSE provides, but still get the following msg: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DPRODDB2:~ # ifup hsi0 hsi0 name: Hipersocket (0.0.7000) RTNETLINK answers: Unknown error 18446744073709486085 Cannot enable interface hsi0. interface hsi0 is not up --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will go through the steps in the hipersocket configuration instructions again. Maybe it's not enough to define it in YAST..
